I honestly(and don't want to be harsh sounding) don't think the original owner owes you the papers and shouldn't expect to give them to you so you can make money off of the dog. You're a really good person, I know this. It just rubs me the wrong way how you got Baby, then a male, then they 'accidentally' tied...twice. Now your complaining about trying to get AKC papers and that you know people will pay more for AKC dogs.
If it was any other poster, I'd be appalled.., but I know for a fact, that you are a good person and love yorkies and truly wanted good homes for both Baby and your male. If you paid and were promised the papers, yes you should get them. If I was the previous owner, I wouldn't be happy that you had her bred and now want the papers to sell a litter.
I do know there are other registries you can go with, not as good as AKC but to some people, like me, it doesn't matter that much. |
I'm not saying that I would make more money, I'm saying people in general pay more money for a AKC pet. I could care less really if they are reg, but someone might. Like someone else said, it's a way to get the family history.
Not only am I wanting her AKC papers, I want her vet records. I was promised all this. I took Baby into my home because I love yorkies and a friend needed my help, I had NO idea what Baby looked like, I had never seen her before, so I agreed cause she needed a home. I did not pay any money for Baby, but I have put a LOT of money into her.
As far as Rocky goes, yeah it don't sound good on my part that I happen to get a male and then bam bing Baby is pregnant. But I'm telling you I did not have any intentions on breeding her. I do want to breed, but I wanted to wait till we moved out of town. Bottom line is, Baby is pregnant now and I would have liked to reg this litter, but I'm not going to kill myself trying to hunt these people down. After this is all done and over with, Baby will be spayed. But I do plan to in the future getting a breeding female. I do love this breed more then anything, you have no idea how much I have bonded with Baby over all this, I have laid with her and cried and cried praying everything will go alright and she has a safe whelping. I lay and rub and feel her belly and I feel so close to these pups already, that I know it's going to break my heart to part with them. I know I will be the greatest yorkie gamma ever! My babies are truly spoiled, just ask my husband and kids lol
I have brought Baby to work with me everyday for the past two weeks, I carry her in a blanky and have her "diaper" bag full of all her items she will need for the day. My mom just laughs at me cause she see's me walking in the door with a "Baby" I do love these brats more then anything!
